First Lady Melania Trump Reads Dr. Seuss to Kids at a NYC Hospital

In one of her first official acts as FLOTUS, First Lady Melania Trump paid a visit to New York Presbyterian on Thursday in order to help spread a little extra joy to the young patients by reading them a Dr. Seuss book in honor of National Reading Month.

Multiple sources report this was the first time Trump has volunteered in New York since becoming the first lady. Prior to her trip to New York Presbyterian on Thursday, the FLOTUS visited patients at Children's National in Washington, DC on Wednesday, later sharing a photo from the visit to social media.

"I am a passionate believer in integrating and interpreting nature's elements into our daily lives to create a warm, nurturing and positive environment," she said in a statement after her visit. "I believe that these same natural benefits can be instrumental to enhancing the health and well-being of all children. It is important to me that children can recognize, identify and express their feelings in order to promote their mental wellness and healing process."
